Roland Aira – analog Synth coming up – Reon in a Roland case?

MusikMesse 2015: Here’s a pic taken by someone at GS – on the right you see REON Synths (Driftboxes I guess – btw very high quality sounding synth!). on the left is a „normal“ eurorack modular system and in between – there is a Aira-Styled something that does not seem to have patch jacks but may be some sort of:

1) System 1 tech modeling which is obviously very good and could simulate System 100, 100m and 700 things – it may not provide a lot of voices but a good sound and access. there is a display and maybe patching is possible another way or it is sort of integrated.

2) it could be a more closed analog synth based on Reon or 3) the new stuff that is in the JD Xi / Xa Synths

MY guess is – it’s a „repackaged“ Reon – so it’s analog.anyway it is new to me that Roland is doing this – but why not? Reon got a full modular system, so sequencers and synth and other stuff could be in, not just the Driftbox – of course.
